I've spend loads of time speeding up my website. Just some more tips to improve loading speeds are:

A browser will wait rendering the rest of the page until the javascript is loaded. Put your javascript files at the bottom of the page. This way the browser will render your site much faster because it doens't have to wait. You can also you "deferer" (google for it) in the script tag to get the same result in some browsers. This doens't make your site load faster but render faster (which is a good user experience).

Make sure the browser doens't send any cookies to the CDN or subdomain you are using.

Each file you are downloading takes about 4kb of header data. So each file you can miss saves you an extra few kb.

User yuicompressor to compress your css and js files, in my opinion it's the best tool right now.

If possible lazyload files. (load basic files first then load other extra files).

If you really want the max out of it buy the book "building faster websites" or mail me :)
